Public servants warned against party prank

Public servants are being reminded not to be silly this Christmas when buying secret Santa gifts or considering posting pictures of colleagues online.

Public servants are being warned not to be too silly this festive season.

They should be mindful when buying secret Santa gifts, not assuming everyone shares their sense of humour, and when circulating pictures or videos of colleagues on social media.

The Australian Public Service Commission, in its November newsletter, also warns against engaging in "party pranks" which could possibly injure others.
